Had carbonara for tea.

In these shitty times I do love NPR's Tiny Desk. I've heard these guys do Steve Reich, and this is great stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Dv...

Today is sorting out the greenhouse and pond.

For me, this was definitely one of those "I thought he'd already gone" announcements. I was genuinely surprised. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kidney bean and barley koji miso potted tonight.

Had BBC R4 PM on in the background when some wanker was talking about how he uses an AI-agent. Evan Davis asks him for an example, he says it does his "weekly shop". This is so antithetical to how I live my own life I pulled the plug...and thankfully the sparrows in our bush were busy twittering.

These BBC archive progs keep popping up in my Youtube account. This one is glorious, menu reminds me of when I did my time as kitchen porter at a local hotel in the mid-80s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgpK...

It was Oscars night after all.... Wordle 1,731 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It's Sunday night and I'm thinking about square jars. I don't like square jars. Great for packing and transporting, shit for being able to get the last bits out with a spoon etc.

Today...roast beef, mutant Yorkshires and homemade horseradish.

I discovered Arte because of Brexit. Tonight, found a performance of Mozart's Requiem from Sagrada Familia. What a venue! www.arte.tv/en/videos/12...

Having a fire as it's not raining....and I can see the stars. Cheers all!

School had a physics lab with desk electric terminals controlled by a large PSU in the teacher's room. In "Electronics Club" our main activity was blowing up capacitors. We could've made it big if the web was a thing back then! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx5H...

Barley koji with mashed soy beans. Will do other half of barley koji with kidney beans tomorrow (Coop didn't have any)

It's bloody blowing a gale and wet here. Thought we'd all agreed that we'd had enough of that.

Shite weather today! So made pulled pork shoulder with bits to stuff in pitta bread.

Made piccallili....mainly cos I want to make pork pies again.

Turns out that carrying a bunch of wild garlic that you've just foraged can lead to uplifting conversations with strangers. A Korean guy noticed me picking the stuff, told me about it's use in spring kimchi and pickles. As I walked home, another guy stopped to swap recipe ideas.

Found while clearing out mum & dad's. Will hang on to it as may need it if things start getting out of hand.

Tonight...spiced duck with citrusy sauce and affectionate potatoes.

Very unfortunate case of nominative determinism for this BBC reporter.

Not gonna mention socks ever again. Pants maybe.....

I know it's a cliched subject, but my unmatched sock count is now up to 5. And they stay in the sock section of my chest of drawers in hope. My heart says yes....but my head says I'll never see their partners again. 😥

"Frank, your next word is....."

First time making koji. First stage of sake is fermenting nicely, so the koji's working! 🥳

Had exchanges here with (I think) honest folk who believe the US 1st Amendment approach to free speech is best. They say, best way to oppose 'bad' speech is 'good' speech, and that states shouldn't regulate. But just look at media ownership and capitulation to Trump in the US, and now here...

First gloriously sunny day here this year. Walked to Polperro, gorse in flower, sparkling sea.

Very entertaining interview with Will Self just on R4 Front Row.

Pasties are out of the oven. bsky.app/profile/fara...

Pasties are in the oven. 👍

Still going through the mountains of dad's photos emptying the house I was destined to take Prog Rock to Local Government! The modules of that analogue synth are somewhere in the attic...I meant to put it into a better case....um, before going off to study 🤷‍♂️

Clearing out books at mum & dad's house. Came across dad's battered James Burke's Connections book....then back home, it turned up on my Youtube suggestions! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xetp...

R4 Media Show was on in the background talking about the advertising world. Words like influencer/creator and ideation came up. I felt a bit sick.
